Procedures

Before opening an envelope or package, verify that it is addressed to Cook Library Serials, Cook Library Acquisitions, or to a Bibliographic Services librarian or staff member. Do not open personal mail.

Open mail and sort into groups:

Invoices

Renewals

Catalogs

Serials publications

Serials correspondence (such as replies to claims sent by a member of the Serials Unit).

Catalogs: Please these in the designated area (on the small filing cabinet next to large, green filing cabinets).

Serials Publications: Place these on the sorting table in Serials.

Serials Correspondence: Route these to the addressee.

If any gift materials are received, route them to Maria Englert.

NOTE: Acquisitions staff members are not to handle any checks. Occasionally, envelopes with checks are received that should go to Access Services or Interlibrary Loan (because they were addressed to Box 5053). Notify the supervisor of any checks received, whether opened or not.
